I think it would be a good idea to drop the contests section down to the bottom. The contests are fun but IMHO the vital aspect of the forum should be research based and thus continue with our forums dedicated to such on top. We could always move it back when we have more contests and we will. I'm working on one now that just needs some logistics done first. We have the prizes already

I want to rename the Limited Editions Beta Mix Ideas Molecules to something that is more captivating. I've been working on XiSt copy for the site all day and my brain is a bit stuck on that path. I'd love to have community inspired names for this section. It should inspire a person to want to get deep into pheromone theory, studies and research. This area is going to be dedicated to the real hard-core enthusiasts. I'm still debating on sub forums specifically for fragrances, diffusion technologies, pheromone molecules both named and research grade, blending techniques and research articles in the news and scientific journals on pheromones.
We have a lot of power over the vbulletin 5 platform as pheromoneXS was the ONLY live application of it while they worked out the kinks. Many of thus bugs are still, well bugs, but they are actively working on solutions. You guys should be super proud to know that while every other forum using vbulletin in the world was still using 4 our DiscoverXS community was trendsetting the path forward. It stands as a testament to our resolve and dedication to push the boundaries of whatever we are involved with while making positive life altering impacts on ourselves and those we interact with. You might think that is a bit of hype, but I am just thrilled with what we are creating everyday.
I've been able to hire an analyst to handle a lot of the things that had me banging my head against walls
. Its a difficult task to be an entrepreneur in today's world. Anyone in business for themselves knows just how much is involved. Times that by fifty when dealing with chemicals and all the regulations that go along with it. So far, so good and we are making headway with all the data we deal with daily. To start its just data about business decisions which frees up tremendous time for me, hence why I am more available for the forum. Ultimately this person, already deep into pheromone research, will also be analyzing pheromone data to assist in better formulas. I'm excited about it and when the time is right I'll introduce everyone to him. He's been lurking on the forum so more than likely he has read your posts.What better way to learn about the intricacies of pheromones than to source the information from the heartbeat of everything. Community sourcing pheromone knowledge makes me feel all warm and wonderful. I love our community!
I'm asking for community feedback and suggestions like always.
Right now our platform(vb5) has several mobile phone issues. The forum still works from mobile devices but there are some glitches (on some mobile browsers).
I have already notified vbulletin staff (they are aware of the bugs since 05/Nov/13).
A new version is currently in beta so Expect an upgrade in the next few weeks
